The thief got new victim, Read this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1949338.new#new

Becareful with your wallet, never donwload wallet from one of cheap and free bounty in marketplace. I suspect one of the bounty bring malware.

I suggest back up your asset or sent to secure exchanger or turn to bitcoin and withdraw to your bank account before your loose all your digital asset.

I heard it too. Sad that qiwoman2 losing thousands of dollars. I think it was a phishing site or her unit infected with a malware. Even hard wallets can be stolen too. So only way is to use 2fa which is used on trading sites like poloniex and bittrex.

This is not fault of myetherwallet. This is just wallet not a safe, you are supposed to keep your coins secure.
This is not fault of myetherwallet but us. Like me, not think about the security, i used my own laptop, I think it is secure enough, in fact someone can steel my asset from remote area. Never download any wallets from untrusted new coins, that gives free coins or small tasks with big rewards. I think I wast trapped by the trick.

People have been sending bots into various slacks which direct message people to check their coins on myetherwallet to avoid losing them while giving them a fake myetherwallet URL (typically instead of .com its something else). This takes the private key when you enter in your information. Don't fall for the scam and only use the proper MEW site.

I am sorry for your lost and thank you for sharing. Hope that everyone stay safe. I would like to share my experience. Just today, a scammer share a message in SOMN slack asking everyone in the channel to login to MEW with  a fake URL in order not to lost their coins. Please don't panic and remember not to login via URL shared in such channel.

yes be alert to those people who has an ability to do it. many people right now are doing thing like that in order for them to get the money of others, they doesnt want to work hard for it but they only want to earn in the simplest and easiest way without doing an effort which is wrong. so be careful next time buddy.

people haven't learned not to store at online wallets yet???
Sometimes it's more convenient to use web wallets,  local wallets take up too much space in the disk , like btc and eth, each of then takes up 100G+ space .
If you have several coins  in the same time , disk space will be a problem.

My advice do not ever open your purse in laptop or computer where you work with many cheap coins, we do not know their application! Kind of spy or keyloger.
Nowadays many websites are giving a gift
But the fact that they install spy application on their website

Watch Out. I am almost exposed to web phishing that is in the name of mew. This is very unsettling. Users must be careful to save the original mew link.

Double check the URL before logging in to be 100% sure you're logging into MEW and not falling prey to a phishing site. I feel sorry for your losses though.

i saw the red notice too,,
so, becarefull with phishing website, you should double check the website before input your private keys,,
because when you input the private keys on phishing website , they will keep your private keys and can access your MEW account
so they can sent tokens or eth on your MEW

We will just be alert of this kind always. Do not open unsuspected files or do not download any file which is not really important. There are al;ways people who is spying on our digital assets,always take care with your private keys. Store it offline,print it and keep in a safe place. Eth wallet can hold your other digital currency, so always be on alert with it.

I also saw a red mark on it, after I opened myetherwallet this morning. Then how to ensure the original so that no one else loses the token just like you.
I am not sure how could it happen. Last few days I dowload and install not popular new coins. I think when I install the wallet there are malware. I didn't realize that time. I think those malware stole the pv key of myetherwallet by tracking my browsing activities. be careful to not popular coins to install in your PC or laptop. Take my case as a lesson. 

Must be the reason they got access to it. How could someone get the password or the private key without them having access to your computer.
If its phishing, downloading the MEW is one solution so you don't have to click links to access your wallets.

Just check my wallet and i seen that too good thing that i always save the site from my bookmark list so it will be more easy for me to open it back. We need to take this seriously since theres a lots of ico coin who works with eth platform.

This happened to me last month. I lost over 1 btc worth of ETH and tokens, it really sucked big time. I now have bookmarked it and make double sure it's the correct link I use before hitting in my details to open the wallet.

just bookmark the real domain of MEW.. so you never got phishing website..
https://www.myetherwallet.com
and keep the private keys on safe place

If you provide the actual link, I can save this link so it does not happen like the person who created this thread and lost all tokens in myetherwallet. Thanks for providing good information, hopefully this is also useful for people who do not know about this.

Maybe your computer got virus from the wallet software this coin. Some software on internet have malware and keylogs can allow hacker checking your data anytime, as cookie, history in browser.
I never save my cookie or history when use browser because very risky when use a wallet not have 2FA as Myetherwallet
